Contains mileage, distance per trip, litres consumed per trip, cost of fill up per trip, various other ratios.

As you can see, mileage is dropping pretty badly in the recent trips. This is thanks to the 2km trip from home to office which can take anywhere between 15mins to 30mins+ and makes me travel only on 2nd-3rd gear :(

Almost all of these sites provide unlimited storage for photo albums and will print and courier photos to your home. I'm yet to see a tie-up emerging between these photo sites and a major retailer like Food World, Spencers, Trinethra, Subiksha, Reliance Retail, Konica or Kodak Digital Express Studios, etc. That option would allow me to ask my prints to be printed at the nearest retailer and provide a pick-up option, thereby saving on costly courier charges.

Have tried out Snapfish, fairly satisfied with the photos. The site definitely has a lot of scope for improvement. Their courier charges seem a bit on the higher side when compared to others. However, the HP name is what gives me certain amount of peace of mind in terms of a lot of things.

Of late, the site has become totally unresponsive. Multiple attempts to book tickets for family members over the last two weeks have only resulted in seeing one error on the web page - "Unable to retrieve due to communication failure."

It's getting totally frustrating. Earlier, this used to happen during daytime / office hours and trying to book late night or early morning worked. Now, nothing works :(

I would like to say I don't hate the Tatas, but the manner in which their ISP is run (by "erstwhile" VSNL babus) leaves a lot to be desired. Know of first hand horror stories about their data center and co-location services or rather the lack of it.

If you can watch CNN-IBN on 6-Oct-2007 at 6.30PM IST, you will get to hear the true story of an individual try to fight his way thru' the shit that is at Tata Indicom Broadband.
